December - Days 5-11 plus some decorations

I am keeping up! These are my next 7 days and they have already been sent off to have printed so I can add them to my album. This day by day thing works. I am also including a few decorations that I have made for this year. I haven't been scrapping but I have been crafting. My Cricut and my hot glue gun has gotten a work out!

My new tree. Its nekkid in this pic but this tree has a story already. We go to Louisiana after Thanksgiving dinner to gamble. The deal this time was that if we came home with enough money I was going to Micheal's to get get a new tree 1/2 off on Black Friday. We did and we got home at 3:30am and I was at Micheal's at 6am for my tree. Found the tag and went and paid in cash. $124.50 plus tax. Went to get the tree and they were out. They were going to refund me until they found out I paid cash. So...my tree was upgraded to the $350 tree for the same $124.50 price. 7.5ft with lights already on it.

There is something about the morning sky in the fall and winter. The colors are amazing and I love driving to and from work during this time.

Amber at work. She loves her job! I think they work her a lot for still going to school but she seems to be handling it okay.

I love, love, love working the 7-4 shifts on Fridays. I like beating the traffic home and spending more time with the girls and Robbie. Its blurred because as much as I love everyone reading my blog...I have a thing about the phones now that I am on them so much during the day that I don't want to talk to anyone on the phone.

We totally kicked it old school with the wrapped door. Our neighborhood does contest and we decided to do the door as a huge present...you know like the teachers did back in Elementary school? I won't win but it was fun and looks good at night.
